building Of solomon.s Temple.


OF the architecture of the Temple we
know little, except its proportions, and
that, like most temples Of antiquity, it
was divided into three courts, called, in
this case, the porch, the holy place and
the holy of holies. 1t was extremely
small, measuring only thirty-five feet in
width, while the total length was only
1O5 feet; SO that its impressiveness de-
pended on its golden walls and pillars,
floor and ceiling, its precious jewels and
the richness of the embroidered hangings
that curtained the sanctuary. And min.
gled with all this gold we read Of brass.
a compound that seems to have been
scarcely less esteemed in those days, when
the tin mines Of Spain and Cornwall were
among the recent discoveries of the Phe-
nicians, and the brass made at Tyre from
the tin of Tarshish or Spain and the cop
per from Cyprus was still fancy article,
commanding very high price.
The cost of this golden temple was ie-
frayed by the moneys left by the offer
ings of the people, but heavy taxes were
levied to create funds for the palaces,
towns and fortresses that arose in such
ruinously rapid succession. No exchequer
could long endure such drain, no nation
support SO vast and sumptuous court,
without murmuring; and although we
do not know what was the relative value
of gold and Of the commodities Of life,
the stress laid upon the fact that all the
vessels in the palaces were Of gold points
to the conclusion that this provision was
as sumptuous in those days as it would bs
in our own.-Magazine Of Art.

The year now drawn to a close will
bear with it a record which exceeds any
of its predecessors in point of real estate
transfers. The steady advance in prices
of realty during the past twelve months
has been alike gratifying and encourag-
ing, and is indicative Of confidence in
the future of our city as commercial
and manufacturing center. A look into
the books of the Register of Deeds and
information cleaned from the various
real estate agents show us that the value
of real estate transfers for the year
overrun one and half millions of doi-
lars or fully 25 per cent. in excess of
those recorded in 1886. The man who
came here in the fifties can take retro
spectiye glance over the condition of af-
fairs as then existing, compare them
with the situation of to-day and draw a
good deal of comfort from the contrast.
A lot which went begging in those days
at from $25 to 500 is now worth any
wherefrom 5000 to 1900 with plenty
of buyers and few sellers. And these
same citizens who came here quarter
of century ago and who have exercis-
ed ordinary business prudence are to-
day enjoying the fruits of their invest
ments. There is unquestionably great
future for Mankato, and the feeling of
confidence which is manifest on all sides
ranks supremely higher than ever be-
fore,

Sirs: About three months ago, noticing a
letter addressed to you in the Bee from
Gen. Slevin, in reference to the cure oil
his son by the use of Halls Catarrh
Cure, we were induced to commence
the use of it for our daughter Nellie now
fourteen years old, who has been sui.
fering from eatarrh for about eight
| years, during which. time sue has been
| treated by one OF the best physicians in
the city. We have also tried the use OF
almos' all the known remedies for ca
tarrh, with no more success than tenn
porary relief Many nights have we
laid awake to hold her mouth open to
keep her from strangling. Her hearing
had also become affected. We were
afraid that she would never recover.
We have now used six bottles of Halls
Catarrh Cure. and we believe Nellie to
be entirely cured. In a few days after
commencing the use of it we noticed a
decided change for the better, and
from that right along she was improved,
until now she breathes as freely as any
one. She sleeps well and her hearing
is pefectly good. We feel that the dis
ease is entirely removed. We write
this unsolicited letter, feeling that 1T is
due you, and with the hope that others
may oe benefited in like manner. We
can hardly realize that such change
could be- affected in so short time after
battling with the disease 80 long. We
are still using the remedy at intervals,
a. it seems to build up her system. You
are at liberty to this IN any manner you
Sc proper. We are yours, truly,

and was totally destroyed. There was

which, together with the limited fa0ili-

improvements made in this city than
during any previous three years. Sew
eral streets have been graded, a sewer
age system begun, a million-9allon res
eryoir constructed, numerous stone cul-
verts built, and several miles of substan-

the resulting benefits at present or soon
